Naughty or Nice

Kobe and Riley help me wish all our scrappy friends a very Merry Christmas and a Bright & Healthy New Year.

I haven't done much scrapping lately so before I will 'allow myself' to buy any new papers I am trying to make a dent in my stash and have used MME Christmas papers from last year that I never got around to using.
Did a bit of punch work & some masking and altered the old poinsettia stickers I've had in my stash for many years, to suit my layout better. (they were pink)

Thank you everyone for all your support through out the year, not just with your comments on my layouts, but also for the many lovely messages of support I have received whilst we live with Kobe's cancer. I know this will be our last Christmas with her, so there is a lot of sadness in me but she is doing well at the moment and I try & just treasure each day I have left with her. I am sure she is getting sick of how many times a day I can hug her.

There are my 2 favorite girls!!!!!!!!! Another knock out, layout, Vija!! Wow- love the border punch & the glitter around the edges of the paper, great touch!!! I have some of this MME too, but I just put it away again until next year!! I hope you and the girls had a wonderful Xmas. Knowing a golden they way I do, I'm pretty certian you couldn't hug Kobe enough...you know they love the attention : )

awww, Vija, this makes me want to cry! I'm sure Kobe appreciated every hug and bit of love you give her-this is a dog who knows she is cherished! Your LO is beautiful and the photo is so sweet ( I loved finding a copy in my Christmas card!!)

The photo glows with love it is beautiful as is the lovely page you've created to frame it. I'm sure Kobe and Riley know how much your warm hugs mean. I pray your Christmas and the year ahead are filled with health and happiness my dear friend.Many hugs to all.

No, Vija, I'm pretty certain those babies NEVER tire of hugs from their family. Its always unconditional with our critters. Giving those furbabies a hug or kissing a wet sloppy nose are what keep their lives within us when they are gone. I'm so glad you shared your journey through 2012 with us. It just brings this little scrapping community a bit closer to each other even though we are thousands of miles apart. Thanks for sharing Vija -- Thank you so much! HUGGIES!

Such a pretty and sweet page - It's amazing how they wrap themselves around your heart. They become so much a part of the family - and it is so hard to say goodbye, even when you've known for a while that it's coming. Give Koby all the love you can and give her a hug from me too :) I hope you have a very blessed Christmas...

Vija - this is so awesome! Love your punchwork, colors, design and details! I will keep Kobe in my prayers. You have given her the precious gift of a beautiful life and she has returned that in kind. Cherish those memories for she will be forever etched in your heart. Merry Christmas my friend!
